* Description
* Return a user or a kernel stack in bpf program provided buffer.
* To achieve this, the helper needs *ctx*, which is a pointer
* to the context on which the tracing program is executed.
* To store the stacktrace, the bpf program provides *buf* with
* a nonnegative *size*.

* The last argument, *flags*, holds the number of stack frames to

* **BPF_F_USER_STACK**
* Collect a user space stack instead of a kernel stack.
* **BPF_F_USER_BUILD_ID**
* Collect buildid+offset instead of ips for user stack,

* Collect a user space stack instead of a kernel stack.
